The cost of just about everything—from groceries to gas to housing—has skyrocketed while wages stay flat. Working families are being squeezed from every direction, and it's time we built an economy that actually works for the people who keep this country running. The minimum wage has been stagnant since 2009, and it's long past time for change. We should not only raise it, but tie it to the cost of living. Anyone working 40 hours a week should be able to afford the bare essentials where they live—a roof over their head, water, gas, electricity, and food.

Healthcare is a basic human right, not a privilege tied to a job or the size of a paycheck. The only real way to bring down costs is to guarantee care for everyone by expanding and improving Medicare for All. That means cutting out the insurance middlemen who profit off people being sick and finally allowing the government to negotiate for lower prescription drug prices and fair medical costs.

Working families are already paying their fair share and then some. It's time to lower taxes for the 99%—the people who actually work, raise families, and power our economy—by making sure billionaires and massive corporations finally pay what they owe.

For too long, billionaires and large corporations have rigged the system to pay less than their fair share while working families pick up the tab. It's time they paid what they owe—so we can invest in affordable housing, good schools, and the infrastructure working class communities actually need.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 2 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.

| Written instead of an employer · 36 contributions · 63% of ranked | $6,920 |

Gifts of $200 or less ($10,123) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.

Every itemized payment the committee reported this cycle, sorted by what it said each one was for. The categories are ours; the wording they are matched against is the committee’s own. Open a category to read the filed descriptions and who was paid. FEC filings through Oct 14, 2026.
All 134 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
1 payment was reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $483 in all, are counted under the payee and purpose they name rather than under the processor that was paid. The total is the same either way.
| Name | Amount |
|---|---|
| 1 payment · 11% of all spending | $3,125 |
| 3 payments · 6.9% of all spending | $2,024 |
| 7 payments · 5.9% of all spending | $1,730 |
